Couch Armrest Tables Are a Lifesaver for Small Spaces

When you're lounging around at home, chances are you want a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a bowl of popcorn by your side. Netflix and binge-watching movies just isn't complete without your go-to snack and drink, right? But if you're in a small space, particularly an apartment, having an end table or two isn't always an option. That's where the genius couch arm table or armrest table comes in.

You might be thinking, what even is "a couch arm table"? Essentially, it's a miniature table—perfect for holding your beverages, food, remote, or whatever your heart desires—that hugs the arm of your sofa snugly, so you don't have to take up extra space with a bulky side table or worry about tipping your precariously-balanced glass over into your cushions (We've all been there.)

Etsy has a few amazing options for armrest tables, like a handmade wooden one from the waldmade shop (shown above), which even has a convenient angled slot to hold your iPad in an upright position.

Though Etsy is always our go-to for some of the best handcrafted goods, other stores are also selling armrest tables in various price ranges. Here are some of our favorite options:
